Bitter herbs

Uittreksel

"When the Nazis invade the Netherlands in May 1940 it's clear that life is changing for the girl and her family. Step by step, the Nazis close in on the Dutch Jews. But when the occupation authorities finally come to the family home a split-second decision will have devastating consequences. Marga Minco's authobiographical novel "Bitter Herbs' is a Dutch classic that has been translated into more than fifteen languages. This deceptively simple and profoundly moving tale is now reissued in a new translation by Jeannette K. Ringold." from the back cover.
